“Francesca writes with the kind of honesty that stops you mid-scroll and invites you to stay awhile. Through memoir, poetry, and thoughtful reflection, she charts a path through heartbreak, single parenting, and midlife rediscovery with grace, depth, and surprising moments of serenity. Her words makes space for what our hearts yearn for—they offer companionship, insight, and a soulful reminder that healing is both personal and profoundly human.”
